Slipped, Tripped (Fooled Around And Fell In Love)

(album: Private Property - 1985)

Mm-hm, mm, mm, oh-oh-oh, I slipped, slipped...
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love

There she stood, 5'4" tall
Perfect body, without a flaw
So devastating, sensuous sensation
And her beauty really captured my imagination
So I took a chance and I made my move
But I never thought that my freedom I would lose, oh I...
Love them and leave them had always been my way
But she stole my heart, and now I'm here to stay

Oh-ho, I...
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(Woman, I slipped...)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(I slipped)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(Oh, oh, I slipped)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love

Oh, she's so sweet, a real chocolate madonna
I couldn't help myself when I laid my eyes upon her
The power of her love was so unexpected
It caught me off guard, with my poor heart unprotected
Since I met her, things haven't been the same
Thought I was a playboy, but I'm a one-woman's man, oh I...
Love them and leave them had always been my way
She put a stop to that, and there's nothing else I can say

Oh-ho, oh...
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(I slipped)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(Woo baby, I slipped)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(Oh, I told you)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love

(Never thought, never thought you could make me feel this way)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love...

You never thought you would, but you did, so tell me
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Thought you were really hip, till you slipped and tripped
Now tell me how do you feel, C.C.?
You never thought you would, but you did, so tell me
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Thought you were really hip, till you slipped and tripped
Now tell me how do you feel, C.C.?
C.C. – C.C. – C.C. – C.C...

Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(I slipped)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(Ooh baby, I slipped)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(Oh, I told you, love)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(Never thought, never thought you could make me feel this way)

You never thought you would, but you did, so tell me
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Thought you were really hip, till you slipped and tripped
Now tell me how do you feel, C.C.?
You never thought you would, but you did, so tell me
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Thought you were really hip, till you slipped and tripped
Now tell me how do you feel, C.C.?

Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(Never thought love could make me feel this way)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
You never thought you would, but you did, so tell me
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Thought you were really hip, till you slipped and tripped
Now tell me how do you feel, C.C.?
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
(She's so sweet, so sweet)
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love
Slipped, tripped, fooled around and fell in love...
